Deep mountains and dense forests.

"Pfft~"

"Well!"

A man in black slowly pulled out the knife. The body in front of him slumped to the ground, and pieces of dead branches and leaves flew everywhere.

The bleeding groove on the blade shimmered slightly, and blood dripped from the tip. It could be seen that it was an extraordinary magical weapon.

"Senior Brother Hao, everything has been taken care of, leaving one alive!"

There were many men in black around, carrying guys from all directions.

A prisoner whose face was covered with blood was pushed forward, and the person behind him kicked him to the ground.

The prisoner screamed in horror:

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I'm willing to do whatever you want from me, just give me a way to survive!"

The man named Senior Brother Hao turned his head slightly, and his profile was as sharp as a knife or an ax.

"Go back and tell your boss that we, the Dharma protectors, want to make a deal with them. We will be here tomorrow at the same time and place, and we will not wait until the expiration date!"

"No problem, no problem!"

The prisoner nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, with only his eyes shining brightly on his face.

"I haven't said what I want to trade, so you have no problem?"

"Well..."

The prisoner was at a loss for words. In this case, no matter what you say, it's no problem. Is there any other answer I can give?

Senior Brother Hao took a step forward, patted his cheek with the knife, and retracted the scabbard in his panicked eyes.

"If you want to tell them, just tell them that there is news about the celestial bodies in my home. Do you remember?"

"Remember, remember!"

"roll!"

The prisoner crawled and ran away, not daring to look back, for fear that his body would be missing the next moment.

However, after he ran for several miles, no one caught up with him from behind, and the gang had indeed withdrawn.

He finally calmed down and suddenly realized that he was soaked, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Immediately afterwards, I was sweating like a waterfall.

He didn't dare to delay too much, and went towards the mountain forest with all his strength.

...

"Ping Ling!"

The tea cup shattered directly on the ground.

"Brother Hong?"

"That's too much! This is the fifth wave of disciples that have been wiped out recently. Do you really think that my Star Swallowing Sect is easy to bully?"

An old man with a golden elixir had an angry look on his face. Looking at the trembling disciple kneeling in front of the thatched cottage, he wished he could kill him with one palm.

A middle-aged Jindan man next to him looked thoughtful, stroking his chin beard and asking about the survivors.

"Who is chasing you, Wuguiwu, Liudingsha, or Disha Tower?"

"Bodudu...it doesn't look like it. They are all dressed in black, and the leader is a foundation-building monk named Senior Brother Hao..."

"Senior Brother Hao?"

The two golden elixir ancestors glanced at each other. Which one of them would remember the name of the foundation-building monk?

"That Senior Brother Hao is extremely powerful. He killed our Senior Brother Ding from the Star Swallowing Sect with just one blow!"

"Huh? Who are you talking about?"

"Senior Brother Ding, Senior Brother Ding Gangniao!"

"Boom~"

A surge of spiritual pressure rushed towards him, knocking the man over several times and almost falling into the pond in front of the thatched cottage.

"Disciple, why did you die like this?!"

The old man Jin Dan was furious. He didn't expect that the person leading the team this time would be his beloved disciple. He couldn't help but look at the middle-aged Jin Dan with cold eyes.

The middle-aged Jin Dan advised him to calm down.

"Brother Hong, I really don't know about this. I think it was the noble disciple who led the group on his own. I didn't assign him. We should first find out who was killed."

"Humph, who else could it be? It's just those old enemies!"

"We've been walking a little too fast lately, and we've stretched our legs. If they saw any clues, they would snipe our team like crazy."

"I really thought that this would force me, ancestor, to compromise, what a joke!"

"When I break into the secret treasure again and obtain the True Lord's treasure, none of these people will be able to escape!"

...

The recent exploration of the Star Swallow Gate has made significant progress, which immediately aroused a sense of urgency from several other enemies.

In order not to fall behind others, they planned to use cunning tactics to hinder the progress of the Star Swallowing Gate.

Hunting and killing of disciples is actually not something that only happened in recent years. It has just become more and more intense recently, with increasing frequency and intensity.

Although the Swallowing Star Sect has many disciples, it cannot withstand such torture. Fortunately, the siege is not just targeting their family.

These families are all hunting and consuming each other, and no one knows who did it. In short, it's a confusing account.

They have also thought that continuing to waste this way is not the answer, so it is better to compete fairly.

But people in the magic path are fickle. Once you see that the other person is progressing faster than you, you will definitely want to do some trick in your heart, otherwise you will never be able to explore comfortably.

Jin Dan is a middle-aged man in the sect, and he has always been led by the old Jin Dan. Most of the time he just plays a role of giving advice.

"My disciple Ding Gangniao is in the late stage of foundation building. He was actually killed by a monk of the same level with one move. This person's origins may be extraordinary. He is probably not a disciple of those old enemies."

The two of them have been fighting for so many years, and they already know the basics. It is impossible for such a genius to appear out of nowhere.

"Who could it be? Who has the ability to kill the same level instantly?"

The loud voice of the Jindan old man roared loudly, causing leaves to fall from the ancient trees outside the thatched cottage. The disciples standing guard at various outposts were all frightened.

The previous survivor crawled back at this time and fought back again with his head on the ground.

"Ancestor, that Senior Brother Hao also told me that the protector behind him wants to make a deal with you two, and he will ambush us in the woods at noon tomorrow..."

"Bastard thing!"

The old man Jin Dan slapped the man away again, leaving him breathless.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The middle-aged Jin Dan next to him couldn't help but ask questions.

"Dharma Protector? The Foundation Establishment Stage monk said that the Guardian behind him must be a Golden Core Stage cultivator, right?"

The golden elixir old man also had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, and the golden elixir period served as a protector, which was the standard configuration for top-level strength.

Could it be that the Star Swallowing Sect is being targeted by top powers?

The two of them were terrified.

Even though they and several other sects at the same time were looking for the secrets of True Monarch Yuxing, the confidentiality work was very low-key. Most of the disciples in the sect didn't actually know what they were busy with and would only follow orders.

Moreover, anyone who enters the Swallowing Star Mountains will be parasitized by demonic insects, and his life will be controlled by the ancestor of the Golden Pill. He needs to receive the antidote on time every seven days.

In seven days, with the cultivation level of this person, it is impossible to get out of the Swallowing Star Mountain Range!

Several other companies also have their own means to strictly control information from being leaked.

The demonic sect does everything possible, and the disciples below are just like animals, they are just tools for high-level monks.

Now they suddenly heard that a large number of Dharma Protectors were intervening, how could they not panic?

If the information about True Monarch Yuxing's secret hide is leaked, they will not be able to compete with these established forces.

"Wait a minute, I think this matter remains to be seen."

Putting himself in the middle-aged Jin Dan's shoes, he felt that if the other party was a top sect, there would be no need to bother.

According to the nature of the devil, it is only right to send a large force directly over to wipe out all the sects who knew about it, and then occupy and enjoy it alone without letting any news go.

Why are you still thinking about doing transactions?

To be honest, are they worthy of doing business with top sects?

Both of them were self-aware and figured out the joints instantly.

Maybe the other party is cheating on me.

"Brother Hong, I think we should just wait and see what happens. There is no need to be led by the other party. If they say they want to trade face to face, just do it face to face. Do you really think they are walking a dog?"

"Yeah, that's true."

Although the old man Jin Dan has a bad temper, he still has the caution he should have, and he doesn't just listen to what the other person says.

The surviving disciple below was so dazed by the slap from his ancestor that he finally recovered.

"Ancestor, he also said that he wanted to trade with you some information about the stars in the sky..."

"!!!"

The two of them were stunned at the same time and turned their heads together.

"Can you finish the sentence in one breath?"

The old man Jin Dan was about to hit someone again, but the middle-aged Jin Dan stopped him and asked him sternly.

"Anything else, let's finish it all at once, don't let it collapse one by one!"

The disciple lowered his head in frustration.

"No, the disciple has finished speaking."

"Bang!"

The head on his neck shattered like a watermelon and was blasted from the air by his ancestor!

"Pull it down and clean it up."

Two men standing guard immediately walked in outside the door, dragged the headless body away, and cleaned up the ground.

"Brother Hong, the information about the Zhoutian Celestial Body! Finally got it after so many years!"

The indifference of these two people is evident. They don't care at all about the life and death of their disciples, as if they killed an animal casually.

But after hearing the key information, everyone was very excited.

The old man Jin Dan paced back and forth in the thatched cottage excitedly, unable to conceal his trembling heart.

"Zhou Tianxing, this is the spirit that the Zichen Star Ring Artifact Spirit is looking for by name. If we can really take it there, why don't we just take care of that old thing?"

"That's right, that weapon spirit has gone crazy. He only wants to seize his body and become a human being. Due to the innate weapon spirit's body, innate spirits of different attributes cannot seize his body. Only the legendary Zhoutian Celestial Body meets the requirements!"

Zhou Tianxing, the darling of the legendary power of the stars, was born with the stars in the sky. He automatically absorbs star power to grow on weekdays. He can steadily improve his cultivation level without practicing. The most obvious sign is that his magic power is powerful, far beyond the same level.

!

It's like the difference between the upper third-grade golden elixir and the lower third-grade golden elixir!

Back then, the Zichen Star Ring Weapon Spirit asked them by name to find this kind of body when they went out, but they secretly posted a reward for so many years without any news.

This legendary spirit is so rare that it cannot be found or even heard of.

Now, on the eve of the Yuxing Secret Hidden, they suddenly learned that there were clues. How could they not be excited?

The middle-aged Jin Dan gritted his teeth and felt that if this was the case, then it was not impossible to take a risk.

"Brother Hong, I will go there in person tomorrow to meet with that protector and see what kind of deal they are selling!"

"Hey, dear brother, just stay here and guard our base camp. I can just go and have a look."

"How about that? It's better to leave this kind of trivial errands to me, and you can take charge of the base camp."

"My cultivation level is higher than yours. If that protector has bad intentions, I have a greater chance of escaping. This is safer."

The two of them suddenly started fighting over each other.

After a while, no one wanted to miss it, so they decided to go together.

When we go together, we can take care of each other, and we won't be alone when things happen. We both have a clear understanding of each other and don't have to doubt each other. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.

As for the base camp here in the Swallowing Star Mountains, it is already very remote. If you want to come and leave for a short time, nothing will go wrong.

...

Noon the next day.

dense forest.

Groups of black-clothed men were standing guard behind the trees. They were all well-trained, and one could tell at a glance that they were the best of the best, not the stragglers of ordinary sects.

Right in front, Senior Brother Hao was standing with a slender man with a sinister face, leaning slightly back.

"Martial Nephew Hao, the young master seems to have high hopes for you when he sends you out this time. He intends to use the Swallowing Star Mountains to train you in advance. I will also truthfully record and report all your performance so that the young master can see it later.

satisfy."

"Master Protector, please take care of me. My nephew will definitely behave well."

"Um."

The sinister man nodded, with a businesslike attitude, turned his head to look at the opposite side, and said softly, "Here we come."

Senior Brother Hao next to him and all the men in black behind him were all on alert, and were waiting in full formation.

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

The people on the opposite side are also wearing black clothes, but they are just loose black robes, which are in sharp contrast to the black tights here.

The old Jindan man surnamed Hong took the lead. He sensed this area repeatedly and found that there was only a Jindan monk named Yin Zhiman. He felt relieved a little.

"I am the Master Hongdong of the Swallowing Star Sect. I don't know who you are. Why did you kill my disciple of the Swallowing Star Sect?"

This guy got the upper hand as soon as he came up, obviously he wanted to get the advantage first, so that he could bargain when the time came to facilitate the transaction.

The sinister man chuckled and glanced casually behind the woods opposite.

"Where is another Taoist friend? Stop hiding him and come out together!"

The old Jindan man, that is, Master Hongdong, remained silent. A man walked out from behind him, and it was the middle-aged Jindan of the sect.

"I met Taoist brother Daoist brother Zhi Lian at Xiatunxingmen."

The sinister man nodded and casually glanced at the stragglers across the mountains and plains opposite him. A trace of contempt flashed across his eyes inadvertently. He did not explain why he killed, but simply introduced himself.

"My name is Yinjizi. You can just call me Yin Protector. It doesn't require much attention."

"It turns out he is the Yin Protector. I don't know what sect your friend comes from. We seem to have never heard of him?"

"It doesn't matter who you are or what your sect is. What's important is that I have the information you want!"

"etc!"

The middle-aged Jin Dan, Zhi Lian Zhenren from Swallowing Star Sect, suddenly suddenly flashed a spark in his mind and blurted out a question.

"What's your relationship with Guardian Wu?"

The corners of Yin Protector's mouth raised slightly, a little surprised.

"Oh? The response is not slow! It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth. Protector Wu and I work together. He is on business elsewhere. If there is a chance in the future, you will naturally meet again."

"really!"

Ancestor Hongdong and Master Zhi Lian of the Swallowing Star Sect looked at each other and both remembered the Guardian Bird who had broken into True Monarch Yu Xing's secret hideout and had a fight with them last time.

Nine pylons!

That demonic sect that was wiped out in the Chu Kingdom, after a quick meeting back then, they still came to visit after such a long time!
Chapter completed!
